I really like how this is turning out so far. Just saying -
1. IL wins 3 more games
2. Gets lucky and gets a bowl game
3. Shammond picks IL on the national stage and IL gets some big time exposure
4. More recruits check us out
Not saying.....just saying

WR Ali Jennings is supposedly visiting. He is ranked 736 in the 247 Composite.

OL Dominic Moore also received an offer from the Illini and said we are his dream school.

You are correct, sir. I was going off of the article which states "This was a big offer considering in the tweet he mentions the offer is from his dream school." I should have looked at the actual tweet. :doh:
I like your interpretation.
I actually think that he already knows and is waiting because that is what he said he would do. Even though winning can "technically" improve our chances, I don't like time in this recruitment. Thinking about the decision is more likely to hurt us than help us
I love this. Higher risk, but higher reward if he does choose Illini. Not that we have a choice in the matter, but I kind of like the leverage this creates and potential for momentum.
My gut is that this is an Illini vs OU battle. Speculating fully of twitter, I see a kid who has a family, home, and teammates at UI. But also a kid who loves what OU program is that UI is not. This may come down to his personality as a teenager and preference for “home” vs “getting away to something new”.

Shammond recruitment feels like OU all the way. Sure hope I’m wrong.
Cooper waiting:
Pro: Tex and ou might fill up lb schollies. Ill does well on field.
Con: since announcing after early signing day, other schools might come along that didn’t get lb targets.
Hope he is fixed on these 4. If he really wants ou, better to commit early, before signing day. Players supposedly have a better idea what the real interest is with early signing Day. Maybe truthfully interested in Illinois season?Will be interesting.

Was going to say maybe cooper is evaluating OU staff, as Lincoln Riley took over job last year, but mike stoops and Kish have been there for a very long time, so nothing really to check out.
Hopefully illinois is being evaluated by a lot of these guys, waiting to see progress/improvement

Maybe I'm wrong, but shouldn't our recruiting class be getting bigger, not smaller? This isn't a good sign when there are a few other Trinity players that the Illini need to commit

I don’t want to be overdramatic, but if we don’t beat Rutgers today, this whole thing could really implode at warp speed.
Wonder who is in his ear?

Losing trinity players would be brutal
Uhhh, Bryce, we need guys that can catch the ball. Plz come back.
That's actually what he struggles with too
There was a strong belief after Williams committed that he would bring 3 or 4 teammates with him. It's starting to look like there is a real possibility that zero TC players join him in the O&B
Well then, he'd fit right in.
Hate to lose a long time commit, but seems to be nature of today’s “commitments”.
Honestly to me the most concerning thing is the TC factor. The more Illini momentum at that school the better. Our recruiting class is actually quite crowded at WR/CB - doesn’t hurt to have more athletes and let the best win out on campus, but I don’t think this is an enormous loss
